In this paper we present 142 additional stellar systems with O stars from both hemispheres, bringing the total of O-type systems published within the project to 590. Among the new objects there are 20 new O stars. We also identify 11 new double-lined arXiv:1602.01336v2 [astro-ph.SR] 8 Feb 2016 spectroscopic binaries (SB2s), of which 6 are of O+O type and 5 of O+B type, and an additional new tripled-lined spectroscopic binary (SB3) of O+O+B type. We also revise some of the previous GOSSS classifications, present some egregious examples of stars erroneously classified as O-type in the past, introduce the use of luminosity class IV at spectral types O4-O5.5, and adapt the classification scheme to the work of Arias et al. (2016).

  • Filter Performance Comparisons for Some Common Nebulae
    Filter Performance Comparisons For Some Common Nebulae By Dave Knisely Light Pollution and various “nebula” filters have been around since the late 1970’s, and amateurs have been using them ever since to bring out detail (and even some objects) which were difficult to impossible to see before in modest apertures. When I started using them in the early 1980’s, specific information about which filter might work on a given object (or even whether certain filters were useful at all) was often hard to come by. Even those accounts that were available often had incomplete or inaccurate information. Getting some observational experience with the Lumicon line of filters helped, but there were still some unanswered questions. I wondered how the various filters would rank on- average against each other for a large number of objects, and whether there was a “best overall” filter. In particular, I also wondered if the much-maligned H-Beta filter was useful on more objects than the two or three targets most often mentioned in publications. In the summer of 1999, I decided to begin some more comprehensive observations to try and answer these questions and determine how to best use these filters overall. I formulated a basic survey covering a moderate number of emission and planetary nebulae to obtain some statistics on filter performance to try to address the following questions: 1. How do the various filter types compare as to what (on average) they show on a given nebula? 2. Is there one overall “best” nebula filter which will work on the largest number of objects? 3.

We investigate the structure and velocity of cold molecular pillars, “elephant trunks”, in expanding H ii regions. Methods. The trunks are seen in silhouette against the bright background in our Hα images. All trunks are filamentary, and show signs of being twisted. Four such trunks in NGC 7822, IC 1805, the Rosette Nebula, and DWB 44 were selected, and then mapped mainly in 12CO and 13CO. We determine the mass and density of the trunks. Most of the mass is concentrated in a head facing the central cluster, and in sub-filaments forming the body of the trunk that is connected to V-shaped filaments to the outer expanding shell. Results. We discovered that all four trunks rotate as rigid bodies (to a first approximation) about their major axes, and that at least two trunks are stretching along their major axes, meaning that the massive heads are lagging behind in the general expansion of the H ii regions. The rotational periods are of the order of a few million years – similar to the age of the clusters.

  • WISE Captures a Cosmic Rose 16 March 2010
    WISE Captures a Cosmic Rose 16 March 2010 supernova remnant associated with this region, called NGC 7822, indicates that a massive star has already exploded, blowing the cloud open in a "champagne flow" and leaving behind this floral remnant. Blue dots sprinkled throughout are foreground stars in our Milky Way galaxy. Berkeley 59 and NGC 7822 are located in the constellation of Cepheus at a distance of about 3,300 light-years from Earth. Infrared light is color coded in this picture as follows: blue shows 3.4-micron light; cyan, 4.6-micron light; green, 12-micron light; and red, 22-micron light. A new infrared image from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Provided by JPL/NASA Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows a cosmic rosebud blossoming with new stars. Image credit: NASA/JPL- Caltech/UCLA (PhysOrg.com) -- A new infrared image from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows a cosmic rosebud blossoming with new stars. The stars, called the Berkeley 59 cluster, are the blue dots to the right of the image center. They are ripening out of the dust cloud from which they formed, and at just a few million years old, are young on stellar time scales. The rosebud-like red glow surrounding the hot, young stars is warm dust heated by the stars. Green "leafy" nebulosity enfolds the cluster, showing the edges of the dense, dusty cloud. This green material is from heated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, molecules that can be found on Earth in barbecue pits, exhaust pipes and other places where combustion has occurred.

  • DSLR PHOTOMETRY: a Citizen Science Project Using a Consumer Camera to Contribute Scientific Data
    DSLR PHOTOMETRY: A citizen science project using a consumer camera to contribute scientific data by Mike Durkin Photometry is one of many areas in astronomy where amateurs can make useful contributions. Other areas include astrometry, occultation timings, and recording high quality observations of solar system objects. There are also projects for “armchair astronomers”, such as Galaxy Zoo. What is Photometry? Photometry is the measurement and study of the brightness of objects In astronomy, photometry is used to measure the brightness of stars , supernovae, asteroids , etc. I will be talking mostly about measuring variable stars , which are stars that change brightness over time. By studying the how the brightness of objects change over time, it can help determine physical properties. LIGHT CURVE shows brightness changes over time Cepheids are a type of variable stars that fluctuate in brightness. There is a well defined relationship between brightness and the Period of the brightness variation. Cepheids were used to determine the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy and proved that the universe was much larger than just the Milky Way. Light Curve for an asteroid can be used to show rotational period. Light curve for eclipsing binary The light curve for an eclipsing binary can be used to determine properties such as the diameters, luminosities, and separation of the stars. Eclipsing binary star animation courtesy of Wikimedia Commons THIS SOUNDS LIKE STUFF FOR PROFESSIONAL ASTRONOMERS, WHAT GOOD CAN AMATEURS DO? There are a lot more amateurs than professionals Estimated total number of professional astronomers is 2,080 (U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics) Estimated total number of amateurs is at least 100,000 based on the circulation numbers of magazines.

We use the global fitting technique of Pejcha & Prieto (2015a,b) to estimate a set of physical pa- 56 rameters of 19 normal Type II SNe, such as their distance moduli, reddenings, Ni masses MNi, and explosion energies Eexp from multicolor light curves and photospheric velocity curves. We confirm and characterize known correlations between MNi and bolometric luminosity at 50 days after the explosion, and between MNi and Eexp. We pay special attention to the observed distribution of MNi comingfrom a jointsampleof 38 TypeII SNe, which can be described as a skewed-Gaussian-like distribution between 0.005 M⊙ and 0.280 M⊙, with a median of 0.031 M⊙, mean of 0.046 M⊙, standard deviation of 0.048 M⊙ and skewness of 3.050. We use two- sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and two-sample Anderson-Darling test to compare the observed distribution of MNi to results from theoretical hydrodynamical codes of core-collapse explosions with the neutrino mech- anism presented in the literature.

  • Three Editions of the Star Catalogue of Tycho Brahe*
    A&A 516, A28 (2010) Astronomy DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201014002 & c ESO 2010 Astrophysics Three editions of the star catalogue of Tycho Brahe Machine-readable versions and comparison with the modern Hipparcos Catalogue F. Verbunt1 andR.H.vanGent2,3 1 Astronomical Institute, Utrecht University, PO Box 80 000, 3508 TA Utrecht, The Netherlands e-mail: [email protected] 2 URU-Explokart, Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University, PO Box 80 115, 3508 TC Utrecht, The Netherlands 3 Institute for the History and Foundations of Science, PO Box 80 000, 3508 TA Utrecht, The Netherlands Received 6 January 2010 / Accepted 3 February 2010 ABSTRACT Tycho Brahe completed his catalogue with the positions and magnitudes of 1004 fixed stars in 1598. This catalogue circulated in manuscript form. Brahe edited a shorter version with 777 stars, printed in 1602, and Kepler edited the full catalogue of 1004 stars, printed in 1627. We provide machine-readable versions of the three versions of the catalogue, describe the differences between them and briefly discuss their accuracy on the basis of comparison with modern data from the Hipparcos Catalogue. We also compare our results with earlier analyses by Dreyer (1916, Tychonis Brahe Dani Scripta Astronomica, Vol. II) and Rawlins (1993, DIO, 3, 1), finding good overall agreement. The magnitudes given by Brahe correlate well with modern values, his longitudes and latitudes have error distributions with widths of 2, with excess numbers of stars with larger errors (as compared to Gaussian distributions), in particular for the faintest stars. Errors in positions larger than 10, which comprise about 15% of the entries, are likely due to computing or copying errors.
